i dont think the bass pattern is what is definitive of the purdie shuffle. correct me if i am wrong but i think it is the ghost notes that make this beat groove the way it does.

Yes, the ghost notes give a sense of continuity and motion.....makes it flow.

Yes,
This is the same groove that Jeff said he borrowed from Bernard Purdie, the "Purdie" shuffle.

Listen to the verses - very important! This was a groove back in the day that had many young drummers (myself included) really scratching their heads. Thre will never be another tme and drummer like Jeff!

is this the purdie shuffle though? the one he demonstrates when talking about 'home at last' has a very different bass drum pattern which plays a huge role in the overall effect

The stick pattern is what Jeff described as the Purdie shuffle, regardless of the bass drum pattern. If you listen to Babylon Sisters, the intro is different pattern.
